Daniel and Levi burning brush piles on our property (this one is in our front yard, from all the trees and brush we cut down last winter).
Ornamental Pear trees bloom beautifully white all over our area in early spring--this one is next to our house.
The flower bed finally getting something planted in it!
Our first little garden spot--a salad garden! Kale, Collards, Lettuce, and Spinach are planted in those four little rows.
Our forcythia bush bloomed brightly, despite the heavy pruning earlier this spring.
Another ornamental tree blooming in our front yard.
Our first April hike we took with Daniel's family out to Dog-Slaughter Falls.
The creek along the trail was so peaceful.
Dog Slaughter Falls was running quite well after all the spring rains.
View from behind the falls.
Mom and Andrew walking behind the falls.
Our favorite photo spot from further down the creek.
Three little water drops along the trail past the falls.

Levi and Andrew playing, while Dad watches from a safe distance.
The sunset over the ridge as we were driving back home.
We took a week-day picnic and history field trip with Levi to Blue Heron Coal Mining Camp.
View from the coal-tipple bridge.
Daniel and Levi looking down...down...down...
That little red pin holds the two halves of the bridge together!

On Sabbath we stopped at the old railroad bridge at Yamacraw, on our way to go hiking with friends.

This time our hiking consisted of exploring the woods--partly without trails.
When the trail leads you to a wall, you either climb over it, under it, or squeeze through it! (Our group did all three!)
And when it goes off a ledge, you either climb down it or swing down a vine!
Levi trying out the vine.
Our hiking group consisted of Danielle, Jimmy, some of their neighbor friends, and us. We had a blast!
Levi climbing around (Daniel is hiding in the photo too).
The rock faces were so impressive!
The waterfall helped cool some of the hikers down. :)

Yahoo Falls was a fun hike!

Waiting for a tornado to blow by, in the center of Walmart!
We were bored! Thankfully, the storm blew over after about 45 minutes.
The garden ready for its first thinning!
